This is an enclosure for Arduino MKRZero circuitry. The basic design includes an Arduino MKR Zero side by side with a Proto shield (blank card). The box is perforated to allow access to the micro-USB socket and the micro SD card. The design was implemented using OpenSCAD so many different options may be chosen and/or combined e.g.

  1. An additional shield may be stacked on the MKR Zero
  2. A 7805 Voltage converter may be mounted beside the Arduino instead of the proto shield
  3. An RS232 to TTL converter may be mounted through the case
  4. A TriColour LED can be mounted through the case.
  5. The case height and case width may be varied for additional flexibility.

Notes:

The box and lid are printed together. The lid is printed with pillars which hold down the board and shield in the enclosure when the lid is screwed down. They do not need to be otherwise secured. If a shield is stacked above the MKR Zero, the pillar length can be decreased to take account of this using a parameter setting. The lid depth may also be increased to make room.

The perforations in the case (if any) do not require internal supports, at least with my printer.

Post-Printing

Fastenings to secure the case

The lid of the box is held in place by csk set-screws. These screw through the lid into brass knurled nuts inserted into holes in cylinder mounts printed in the correct positions in the box. These knurled nuts are installed in in the box by being heated by a soldering iron and gently pushed into correctly sized holes. If a 7805 or other component is installed it is held in place in a similar way.
